SE WTF? Why was I billed so much?

[necrosis]

Yes. Unlike most I am paying for FFXIV but maybe not for long.

Just got an e-mail that I was charged $47.94 for one character in FFXIV!

$18.00 "Service Fee" for the character.
$41.94 "Basic Service" fee for... I HAVE NO IDEA!
-$12.00 "Bulk Discount" for having a FFXI account as well I assume.

$47.94 total.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT $41.94 "BASIC SERVICE" FEE FOR?!

It is bad enough SE flat out lied to us about fixing the International Transaction Fee issue. Now this!

You setup your service for 180 days.

[KiriA500]

Did you have your account set up as a 6 month (180 day) billing?

[leomike35]

Is reading really that hard for people?

good news you wont have to worry about paying next month

[Fear]

Enjoy your 180 days of FFXIV

How many months are you paying for? It seems you're being charged for 6 whole months:

Service Fee (character): $3.00 x6 = $18.00
Basic Service: $6.99 x6 = $41.94

Likely, you had established a 6 months billing account.
